Mac. Mac. Mac. Scientifically speaking, it’s a pretty lonely sound….
Phineas L. MacGuire, also known as Mac, considers himself to be an accomplished scientist. He intends to win the fourth grade science fair. Those ambitious plans may be ruined, however, when his best friend Marcus moves away and Mrs. Tuttle assigns new kid Mac R. as his partner.
Fourth graders are reading Phineas L. MacGuire… Erupts! by Frances O’Roark Dowell, tallying points for Reading Road Trip teams… and analyzing Mac’s scientific experiments, including A Very Simple Volcano, Microwave Marshmallow Roast, and Exploding Film Canisters. In celebration of Phineas L. MacGuire, lets take a look at Elements, an original poem by Reading Road Trippers who say that science rocks!

Mac and Mac R. share the same name, but they are very different. Mac R. quickly alienates the whole class with an obnoxious personality and quirky behavior. But in time, Phineas discovers that the new boy—his real name is Ben—is a talented artist and a good guy, and he works to help Mac R. get a fresh start at school.
